this is not a sideline in our foreign policy. the board will convene for the first time today, at the white house. and i'm pleased that one of its first acts will be to meet with some of your organizations -- citizens and activists who are partners in this work, who have been carrying this torch. going forward, we'll strengthen our tools across the board, and we'll create new ones. the intelligence community will prepare, for example, the first-ever national intelligence estimate on the risk of mass atrocities and genocide. institutionalize the focus on this issue. across government, "alert channels" will ensure that information about unfolding crises -- and dissenting opinions -- quickly reach decision-makers, including me. our treasury department will work to more quickly deploy its financial tools to block the flow of money to abusive regimes. our military will take additional steps to incorporate the prevention of atrocities into its doctrine and its planning. and the state department will increase its ability to surge our di

the time is now to resolve that the basis of a firm and principled foreign policy is one that takes the world as it is and seeks to change it by leadership and example, not by harangue, harassment or wishful thinking. the time is now to say that while we shall seek new friendships and expand and improve others, we shall not do so by breaking our word or casting aside old friends and allies. and, the time is now to redeem promises once made to the american people by another candidate, in another time and another place. he said, "for three long years i have been going up and down this country preaching that government--federal, state, and local--costs too much. i shall not stop that preaching. as an immediate program of action, we must abolish useless offices. we must eliminate unnecessary functions of government. we must consolidate subdivisions of government and, like the private citizen, give up luxuries which we can no longer afford." "i propose to you, my friends, and through you that government of all kinds, big and little be made solvent and that the example be set by the president
